According to backstage reports from the weekend it appears that “Hardcore” Bob Holly could be done with World Wrestling Entertainment as an active professional wrestler. Holly, who was scheduled to return on SmackDown, continues to suffer from problems stemming from his most recent arm surgery. Apparently his condition worsened after the surgery and he is having problems feeling his arm. While not confirmed it is believed that the blame is being placed on the doctors.

Holly has been with WWE since December 1993 when he made his debut as Thurmann “Sparky” Plugg. His character was later changed to Bob “Spark Plug” Holly before he was given the name “Hardcore” Bob Holly during the Attitude Era.
